If you have ever visited Dunedin you know that it is definitely one New Zealand's coolest cities.

Here are 10 reasons why:

#1 Dunedin is home to the steepest street in the world - Baldwin Street. We dare you to walk it!

#2 You'll find some of the best fashion there with a load of budding designers living and working in Dunedin.

#3 The Scots settled Dunedin way back in... 1848 and because of that there's some amazing old buildings that are definitely worth visiting!

#4 The world's rarest penguin - The Yellow Eyed Penguin lives there. Must be a great place to set up home if they live there too.

#5 The city is full of students for most of the year, although this sounds terrible its not! It makes the place lively and interesting - just ask the locals!

#6 The Cadbury Chocolate Factory is there! Join a tour, learn about how they make the chocolate then make sure you do some tasting - one time you can get away with forgetting the diet.

#7 We've mentioned Baldwin Street and The Cadbury Factory already but... did you know there's a Jaffa Race every year... down Baldwin Street? That's right, a Jaffa Race - the little balls of orange chocolatey goodness. How great is that?!

#8 If you're from the South Island of New Zealand it's likely you are partial to a Speight's Beer. Well did you know it all began in Dunedin? Join a brewery tour, learn the history and complete some tastings.

#9 There's a bunch of quirky bars, cafe's and restaurants popping up all the time. You'll need locals advice here for the best spots.

#10 Lanarch Castle is located in Dunedin and guess what... it's New Zealand's only castle. A must see when you visit.
